Revenge Sevenfold
Chapter 54 Simon Says

After they watched Boonie Bears, the twins weren't feeling sleepy yet, which greatly surprised Hui Yin.

She knew that although Jiang Xu was the worst of them all, the two little buns weren't that far behind him. She had accompanied Jiang Xu before to pick them up from a kids' birthday party, and received complaints from the host that aside from eating cake, all the two Jiang young masters did was to fall asleep.

Hui Yin twisted around to face the two of them on the sofa. Little Wuji had played around with a Rubik's cube throughout the movie, giving his twin brother an unreadable glance once in a while as Baby Shang clapped and laughed at the adventures of the Bear Brothers.

"Alright, what do the two young masters want to do before sleeping time?" Hui Yin cooed, since it was only a little after eight o'clock.

Baby Shang's eyes twinkled. "Duck duck goose!"

Little Wuji tossed away the Rubik's cube.

"No."

"Little Wuji, you...want to play something else?"

Masking her nervousness, Hui Yin decided to ask for his opinion again. He's only a four-year old, so he couldn't have tastes that bad right?

Wait, what if he suggests playing an Ouija board or something?

Not only Hui Yin, Baby Shang was feeling uneasy too. He knew how terrifying his twin brother was. He still hadn't gotten over that prank from last week when he woke up only to see his twin brother staring at him from behind an exorcising mask [1].

Baby Shang had nearly peed the bed.

"Simon Says," said Little Wuji, much to Hui Yin's relief. "I'm Simon."

"Okay, that's good. That's a nice game to play. Baby Shang, are you ready?"

Baby Shang nodded, anxiously wondering why there was an imperceptible smile on Wuji's face. Somehow, it gave him the creeps.

"Simon says...hug me!"

Hui Yin giggled. "That's easy!"

She hugged him.

Baby Shang moved forward to hug his brother too, and Hui Yin melted at the adorable sight. Of course, she didn't know that Little Wuji's hug nearly fractured Baby Shang's spine.

"Oooh, Baby Shang, you're crying from happiness!" teased Hui Yin.

"..."

Baby Shang felt wronged.

Wifey, these are not tears of happiness, okay!

They're tears of unbearable pain!

Before Baby Shang could suggest to end the game, Little Wuji had issued another command.

"Simon says be a butterfly princess!"

Hui Yin became a beautiful butterfly princess.

Baby Shang's male ego was shattered.

"Simon says make a funny face!"

Little Wuji thought Hui Yin's funny face was cute.

Little Wuji gave Baby Shang's funny face a 'look'. It was a look that said, 'You look like an idiot.'

Baby Shang's funny face crumbled. Wuji, you're the idiot! Your whole family are idiots!

Little Wuji gave more commands after that, and Baby Shang was the first to strike out when he obeyed an order without realizing that Little Wuji did not add 'Simon Says' at the beginning.

He was punished by Little Wuji, who flicked him on the forehead hard enough to rattle his brain. Because his flick looked gentle on the outside, Hui Yin did not scold him.

"So, what game do we play next?"

Having won once already, Hui Yin felt excited.

Baby Shang actually wanted to stay up late with his Wifey, but fear of what Wuji might next do to him made him fake a yawn. Of course, Hui Yin immediately noticed this.

"Baby Shang, are you tired? Alright, let's just go to sleep then."

They all brushed their teeth, and retired to Hui Yin's bedroom. She was about to click off the lamp when Little Wuji noticed a small calendar on her desk with red circles on different dates.

"Wifey, what's that?" He pointed at it.

[1] Originating in the central plains of China, an exorcising mask is used to drive away evil spirits during ancient times. These masks were also worn to celebrate births and to keep homes safe by scaring evil ghosts. Very popular in operas.
